[QUOTE="german agri broker, post: 1126491, member: 22265"] Hi, I work as a purchaser in SEA. In the past I dealt as a broker with animal feeds, but my expertise in this field is very limited. Since I live in an agricultural hub, I always wondered why there's no concept to utilize the various by-products and rejects, but I didn't investigate it any further. Some weeks ago I talked to a local politician and he basically confirmed this. So far I know about the following products: - green banana rejects - pineapple pulp - coconut pulp - palm pulp - sugar cane pulp Right now there's work going on to estimate the volumes. So far it's confirmed that there are green banana rejects of several thousand tons per month. Banana rejects can be used as animal feed and it's seems to be easy to ensile them. [url=http://www.fao.org/docrep/004/x6512e/x6512e10.htm]http://www.fao.org/docrep/004/x6512e/x6512e10.htm[/url] [url=http://www.feedipedia.org/node/683]http://www.feedipedia.org/node/683[/url] Since there are no confirmed numbers I haven't investigated the other products yet. All these products are available for free. The local authorities would support if someone came up with a utilization concept, even financially. I don't have the right background to evaluate the quality of these products and their market potential as animal feed. Therefore, I would highly appreciate every input. Also, in other threads I saw people recommending Steve Bledzinger as a consultant. Unfortunately, I can't find his contact details. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
